Grant Maloy Smith

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Sitting with my Kentucky Grammy as she played me her "mountain music" on our family record player. She had albums from The Stanley Brothers, Bill Monroe, and Country artists like Hank Williams and Johnny Cash. This is a treasured memory of mine. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Alison Krauss & Union Station, Paper Airplane Hank Williams, The Complete Hank Williams 10 Disc Box Set The Beatles, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band These albums reflect my overall taste in music, from Classic Hank Williams and his emotional songs, to the pop genius of the Beatles at their height of their creativity. Alison Krauss has one of the loveliest, greatest voices ever. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Man of Steel” This song is based on a real person that I met at an airport - a great young man who had lost a leg in the Middle East during the Gulf War. This song is dedicated to him and all the other brave soldiers who have served their country.
